Top 10 Reasons

Last weekend, I met my good friend April who lives in Virginia half way in Somerset, PA. So we thought it looks like a pretty large city on the map, how could we go wrong with fun stuff to do.....right?

WRONG!!!!

So here are my 10 top reasons not to visit Somerset, PA ever again:

10. Seriously April, I am in a neighborhood and I am not sure if I can turn around and you want me to do what??? Drive across 5 lanes of people driving on and off the turnpike tolls?

9. The hotel didn't advertise easily of fun stuff to do in the area, except skiing and when we asked the clerk if we had to go across 5 lanes again, she said we'll I could tell you the back way but the way you came zooming across and taking your life in your own hands is probably the best way, but turn right and go to the next light that'll get you to the main strip in town.

8. The main strip had literally a Ruby Tuesday's and Starbucks that we recognized other than fast food...there was no Malls or anything that resembled anyplace we would eat but there were 4 McDonald's in town........

7. We thought we might be adventurous for dinner and took the advice of the nail tech to try out the Italian Oven, which apparently is the only other restaurant in town as it was packed and when we decided to go get pizza.....a guy comes out of the restaurant with a 12 pack of Budweiser.....never saw that before.

6. When we ordered pizza the guy had no teeth and we were the only one's in the restaurant....and you could buy 12 packs of beer there too! It was like we were in the Twilight Zone!

5. A lot of the streets were one way then they went to two way streets or you just kept driving around in circles to figure out where to go next....the scary thing was that there was no lines on the one way streets to show that it was more than one lane.

4. Outside our hotel room, someone is getting something delivered to them, not sure what but they did have to sign the bottom two copies and keep one for themselves....not sure what that was about....never had to sign two copies for any food I ordered :)

3. The local Wal-Mart we found out was the biggest shopping place for 30 miles and if you wanted to see a movie at a theater it was also 30 miles away.....seriously where are we??

2. The nail tech didn't know what a penpal was and couldn't believe we wrote each other.......am I the only one that has a penpal that turned into a good friend??

And the number one reason we won't go back to Somerset, PA.......

1. When the nail tech asked us 3 times why we met here and couldn't believe we wanted to stay.....

We seriously did have a great time, and it was nice to get away, laugh and catch up! We can't wait to plan our next trip......hopefully somewhere they have a movie theater, more than two restaurants we recognize or would consider going in.....maybe New York City.........

Until our next adventure........
